DIY Wedding Decor

Weddings are special days for couples. It's the day you unite in marriage and declare your commitment to love each other forever. Decorations are only one part of the work and time that goes into planning the perfect ceremony. These DIY wedding decorations are the perfect way to save money if you're looking for a wedding hack.

 

 It's no secret that weddings can be expensive! Everything adds up, especially when it comes to decking out the wedding venue and tables for guests, including the wedding gown, invitations, favors, photographers and videographers. In this list, we share ideas for crafts that are simple, cheap, and engaging. You and your partner will love these ideas, especially if you like fun adult crafts, trash-to-treasure upgrades, or DIY home decor.

 

Use Postcards in Lieu of a Guestbook

 

For a cute travel-inspired wedding decor idea, have your guests write little notes on the back of postcards of all the places you've been together! Alternatively, you can always purchase cheap postcards from a local store if you haven't traveled much. It's a fun and affordable DIY alternative to a traditional guestbook!

 

DIY Floral Garlands

Garlands of colorful flowers can be hung on the chairs or tables of your guests. Since they are made of paper, you can easily use them for other special occasions after the wedding!

 

Flower Girl's Basket

Consider decorating your own affordable flower girl basket with silk or paper petals rather than spending a lot of money! Fresh flowers can be added to the mix right before the ceremony if you wish!

 

DIY Wedding Sign

You can even make your own wedding sign to point guests in the right direction at the venue! Gather up all your artsy supplies and a large floating frame, print out the saying you want to display, and get to crafting!

 

Tye Dye Napkins

Use watercolor napkins to make your tables as eye-catching as possible. Wring out napkins after soaking them in water. As you work your way up, dilution the fabric paint with water as you brush in small strokes. When you're finished, hang everything to dry and add your new napkins!

 

DIY Floral Lanterns

Hit up your local Goodwill or other home decor shop and find some cute lanterns to fill with faux flowers, moss, succulents, and anything else you love to decorate your reception tables.

 

Vintage Photo Display

Show off the wedding photos you've collected over the years. In addition to paying tribute to your loved ones, this is a beautiful way to welcome a new chapter in your life. For an antique-inspired look, tie them to teapot lids!
